INVENTOR ATTORNEY WITNESSES res ALBERT ANDERSON, 05 MILES CITY, MONTANA.

ADVERTISING DEVICE AND PAPER-HOLDER.

Application filed April 30, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Miles City, in the county of Custer and State of Montana, have invented new and useful Imrovements in Advertising Devices and Paper-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention has reference to a roll paper holder.

My object is to provide a device of this character with means, revoluble on the unrolling of the paper designed to attract the attention of the customer and others, and thus produce an advertising novelty;

A further object is to produce an advertising novelty in which the top of a roll paper holder has journaled thereon a revoluble disk on which jointed figures may be arranged or on which suitable matter for advertisement may be positioned, the shaft of the roll on which the paper is wound being projected beyond one of the sides of the frame and having secured thereon a grooved wheel around which is trained an endless belt that is suitably guided around a similar wheel on the shaft or journal of the disk, and whereby, when paper is unwound from the roll previous to the severing thereof for wrapping purposes, the disk will be revolved and the advertising matter thereon suitably displayed.

The foregoing, and other objects which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, may be accomplished by a construction, combination and operative association of parts such as is disclosed by the drawings which accompany and which form part of this specification.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of a roll paper holder provided with the improvement. r

Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view thereof.

Fig. lis a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, the numeral 1 designates the frame of a roll paper holder of the usual construction. The frame includes the uprights 2, and the top plate 3, the uprights 2, in the present instance having their lower e ds provided Specification of Letters Patent.

with offset portions forming feet which are bolted or otherwise secured on the counter or other support.

The roller, on which the paper is wound, is indicated by the numeral 4. The roller has its ends provided with short shafts or trunnions 5 and 6 respectively, both of which being received in the usual bearing 7. The standard 2, provided with the bearing for the trunnion 6 has a round opening therethrough that provides a bearing for a shaft 7. Between the shaft 7 and the trunnion 6 there is a lug and slot connection, indicated broadly by the numeral 7 By this arrangement the roller 4: can be removed from its bearings and disconnected from the shaft 7. Also by this arrangement the turning of the roller will also cause the turning of the shaft 7. G11 the end of the shaft 7 is a grooved wheel 8. Journaled in suitable bearings at one end of the top plate 3 in the frame 1 are a pair of spaced grooved wheels 9 arranged centrally with respect to the grooved wheel 8. Arranged centrally on the top of the plate 3 there is a bearing member 10 for a vertically directed shaft 11. The shaft 11 has its outer end provided with a squared projection 12 that is received in a squared socket 13 in a stub shaft 14 that is secured to the under face of a disk 15. On the shaft 11 there is secured a grooved wheel 16, and trained around the grooved wheels 8 and 16 is an endless belt 17 that is guided through the grooves of the wheels 9.

The cutter blade for the paper is indicated by the numeral 18, and is suspended from the top plate 3 by hangers 19 that are supported by eye members 20 and influenced by springs 21.

As prevously stated, any desired form of advertising matter may be arranged on the disk 15, such as a jointed manikin, but preferably, when the device is employed in grocery stores, a commodity to which the customers attention is to be directed is arranged on the disk, such for instance as canned goods. The clerk in unrolling the sheet to be severed from the roller necessarily turns the roller which, of course, will revolve the disk, and thus the article on the disk will be properly displayed.

It is believed that the foregoing description, When taken in connection with the therein, a grooved Wheel secured on said 10 drawings will fully set forth the constrncshaft, a disk removably connected to the tion and advantages of the improvement. last mentioned shaft, "guide Wheels at one Having described the invention, I claim end of the frame, and an endless belt trained 5' A frame, a paper carrying roller jouraround the grooved Wheels and guided by naled in bearings thereon, a shaft extending the guide Wheels, as and for the purpose set 15 through'the frame andjoined to the roller, a forth. 7 W V V grooved Wheel on said shaft, a bearing on In testimony whereof I afliX my signature. the topv of the frame, a shaft journaled ALBERT ANDERSON. 7
